Ingredients:
1 kg (2 lb) potatoes
300 g (10 oz) flour
60 g (2 oz) butter
2 eggs
salt
German plums
sugar
cinnamon
Preparation:
- Boil potatoes, mash, mix with eggs, butter a little salt and enough flour to make a dough soft enough to hold the impress of the finger.
- Roll out and cut into four-cornered pieces; in each square place a German plum which has had the pits removed and a mixture of sugar and cinnamon; put in in place of the pit.
- Roll each square into a round dumpling; put these into a pan with boiling salted water and let them cook covered for six or eight minutes.
- When done, serve with some bread crumbs browned in butter or schmalz and spread over the knoedel.
